Your canine can spin a few circles and curl up in this Planet-Friendly Nest Bed, feeling cozy and secure inside its plush walls. The outer walls and removable center pillow of the Nest beds are made of soft faux suede with a tough 420 denier nylon packcloth base. They unzip to access an inner bolster and cushion made of ripstop nylon. The inner bolster and cushion are filled with SmartFill, Big Shrimpy's 100% recycled fiber. The inner bolster and cushion are odor and water-resistant, but if necessary, they can be unzipped to remove and wash the SmartFill. Of course, the outer covers and inner bolster/cushion are washable as well. This bed is designed to be flipped inside-out to further extend its usable life. The dimensions below are for the inside of the bolster (the actual sleeping area of the dog).

What exactly is SmartFill?

SmartFill is a 100% pre-consumer recycled polyester fiber. It is machine washable and dryable. SmartFill is a dense, cushiony fiber that makes Big Shrimpy beds feel more substantial when compared to most other beds. Because SmartFill is made of many individual tufts of fiber, rather than long intertwined virgin fiber, Big Shrimpy beds can be opened up and “refluffed” to restore the loft of the fiber.

Return Policy

In order to maintain strict quality control, Big Shrimpy is unable to accept any items that show signs of use. This includes any worn fabric, any traces of pet hair, any pulled hang tags, etc.

To ensure a smooth return if you choose not to keep your Big Shrimpy product, we recommend taking the following steps:

Consider your pet’s sleeping style (is he a flopper, a curler, a lounger, etc.) before you order your pet bed. Some animals like smaller beds, some like larger beds.

Take a look at all of the color options and imagine them in your house. Do they go with your decorating theme? Getting it right the first time can save a lot of trouble.

Visually inspect your Big Shrimpy product when it arrives. Make sure the color, size and material are everything you expected before you allow your pet to use it.

See if you can introduce it to your pet with the plastic wrapping still on the bed. This will allow you to see if it’s the appropriate size for your companion without any fur getting on it. Big Shrimpy will not accept returns if there is fur on the product.

Do not remove any hang tags from your Big Shrimpy product. Big Shrimpy will not accept returns when the hang tags are removed.

Big Shrimpy's Earth-Friendly Philosophy & Mission

Big Shrimpy creates pet products that are comfortable and functional for pets, stylish enough for any living space, and include design features useful to pet owners. Within these parameters, Big Shrimpy strives to wisely use Earth’s resources by designing their products to last longer than typical pet products and by using recycled materials in the majority of their products.

Big Shrimpy emphasizes manufacturing processes that reduce the amount of natural resources withdrawn from the Earth. They do this by: 1) salvaging waste materials from other industries to use in their products, thus diverting waste from landfills and reducing their company’s demand for new raw materials, and 2) designing products to have a longer than average life in order to slow the cycle of throw-away-and-buy-another cycle, again reducing the need for new raw materials.

Big Shrimpy “packages” these environmentally friendly characteristics in products that are both eco-friendly and functional. Over 93% of Big Shrimpy products sold use recycled materials! Big Shrimpy also donates a percentage of sales to a nonprofit organization that develops environmentally sustainable business practices.

I loved the bed right out of the box. Fluffy, huge, great color and texture, nice quality and I appreciate the fact that it is 75% recycled materials. My 2 dogs, both 82 pounds can fit in it if they snuggle, although they choose to rotate and take turns sleeping in it.

The down side to this bed, is that within a week, the stuffing was pretty flat. I had read that on another review, but thought I'd take a chance anyway. Sure enough, flat. The company should send extra stuffing along with the bed, so when it does go flat, you can re-stuff it.

It's not worth returning as it's full of dog hair and slobber and the dogs enjoy it, but I will have to go out and buy some more recycled stuffing to fill it back up.

I would not recommend this bed for an arthritic or elderly dog as it won't stay firm.

My Wheaten Terrier is hard to please, and buying a bed for him is a project. He attempts to run them through their paces by tearing them apart, to see what they are made of! I'm sure many of the chains beds are perfect for most dogs, but I have been down that road many times. When I removed this bed from the box, he approached in the usual way. However, after one scolding, he left it alone for a day or so, but slowly began to lay on it. This is his daybed, and he loves snuggling in it! I am only so grateful that he has found a bed that meets with his approval!

I ordered the large size Big Shrimpy Bed in plum color. I have tried several other dog beds prior to this(somewhat expensive, purchase.)And everyone of them my now 65# Boxer Joker(who just turned one) destroyed within days. I searched & searched & found this one came with great reviews and indestructible claims. So I sprung for it. I opted for the large size and it is Large! Perfect if you have your own home and the space for this bed to be out in a corner somewhere. I live in a 1 bedroom apartment and had a hard time squeezing it into my dogs large kennel! So now it sits in the bedroom and takes up a good portion of my small room.When I put Joker in the kennel I take the outter portion of the bed off & put the pillow in his cage and that works ok. Joker loves his bed, but I do have to say it's far from indestructable. Within the first few hours of having the bed, Joker found the zipper on the pillow portion of the bed and by the 2nd day I walked in to see joker opened the zipper with his teeth, he's quite resourceful, and he opened the inner lining zipper as well. Stuffing was everywhere! I had to laugh. It looked like a giant chicken with a boxer's head. Hilarious. So I re-stuffed the pillow,and put a little stitch in securing the zipper closed, and he hasn't done it again. But he did rip the outer portion of the bed on the 1st day just by dragging it on the floor.So well it's far from indestructible, and on the expensive side...the size makes it a good value, the color plum is true to the pics on the web site, the faux suede is gorgeous( nicer then my own couch!) and my dog just loves it! I also loved the fact that It's made largely from recycled materials. Perfect bed if your dog is one that loves to cuddle up in a little ball ;) I would definitely buy this bed again, the delivery was also very quick! I'd recommend it, but do know that it is "overstuffed" and bigger then it looks, when choosing the size that's best, for your best friend.

My puppy loves his nest bed. I have a large which has worked great b/c it's allowed him to grow into it. I've even washed the bed cover and it was easy to put back on and looks brand new again. I like it b/c it's eco-friendly and planet-friendly!
